A wrecked Mercedes that is more than 50 years old is rusting away in a shed. For some it is pure scrap, but for other classic car fans it is a true treasure with a guaranteed top price. The headquarters of the world's largest vehicle tuner, Brabus, is located in Bottrop in the heart of the Ruhr region in Germany. Here, old Mercedes stars gain a new shine. The restoration professionals' masterpiece is the 280 SL, also known as the Pagoda. From the body to the engine block, from the smallest seam to the last washer, everything about the Pagoda is refurbished. Getting these automotive icons back on the road takes several thousand hours of work. Every Pagoda that leaves the halls is a classic car with new-car character - 60 years old with zero mileage. This six-star luxury restoration is unique in the world.

I'm proud to have serviced these cars when they were new, before 60 years of wear and neglect took place. Even adjusting the 300SL idle mixture by changing the tiny air jet as shown here. I still have those jets in my tool box 😂👍🇺🇲 it was a great career. Greenwich, Connecticut.🇺🇲

Thank You for having brought tears to my eyes, but enlightened me up to my soul. My Father owned a 190SL and a 230SL. My Mother,who passed this year, owned a 230SL and a 280 SL. She refused the special offer Stuttgart prepared for her for a 350SL, she thought to not emough respect the original 'Classicist' design that emblazoned the stylishness and uniqueness Mercedes Benz established within a market where only them and Sir William Lyons, remained innovators, but also vestals, from all other makers who edged down from the guiding principles of quality. My absolute wish is to be destined to own either a 230, 250 or 280Sl, for the remainder of my life. Only my astuteness, my fervor and my fate will be essential to accomplish that. My viewing of this marvelous documentary, for which I thank you from the bottom heart, happened on the evening of my 68th birthday, which year, if my memory serves me well, coincides with 1968 is in my heart a wonderful coincidence, with my Mother signing a purchase order for a 280 SL. Thank You!

I'm from Bottrop and always loved Brabus cars. When I moved to Australia in 2009 I put my Mercedes in my mother's garage where it has been sitting ever since. It's not an SL but one day I should ask Brabus to pick it up, restore it and send it to me :)
